Promises in Death

Eve is dismayed to discover at a Manhattan crime scene that the victim is a friend, Det.Amaryllis Coltraine, who’s been fatally zapped by her own stun gun. Dallas uncovers a connection to Coltraine’s ex-boyfriend,Alex Ricker, whose father, a notorious criminal serving a life sentence at theOmega Penal Colony, blames Dallas and her husband,Roarke, for his imprisonment. Humorous touches, like the wild poolside wedding shower Dallas must abruptly leave after receiving word of a prime suspect found shot to death, provide relief from the intensity of the murder investigation. In a nice paranormal twist, Dallas uses dream visits with Coltraine to help expose a devious killer whose identity is a stunner.
